2005 and later need to have the the correct alternator with the LIN communicating voltage regulator or you get the message. The alternator charges but the ECM gets no response and that message shows. The alternators are identical between the 04 and older and 05 and newer.

I have installed several VOVs in different vehicles. Maybe a dozen. On one vehicle it worked and is still installed. On many I had to remove and put the standard one in.
